As some have mentioned, can't see the pitch getting ripped up. If you see a pitch getting torn up on TV, that's because it was a **** pitch to begin with. The players in rugby need it to stay firm to set scrums etc. anyway.

Westpac Stadium in Wellington is the stadium for rugby, football and cricket, and it's always in cracking condition.

Absolutely. The only ground I've known to suffer from hosting rugby & football is Rodney Parade in Newport. That has a history of being awful in the first place and no money to improve it.
